is "between hay and grass" Winter trade is pretty
nearly over. Spring trade hasn't begun. The world
Of business can't afford to lay its SO try
and make business In our line. years ago; January
this was that ladies trimmed their own muslin un-
derwear. They do so no more. Reason ? It don't
pay. For the same reason the housewife long ago
gave up making shirts for her husband and sons;
cheaper to buy them ready-made. Same rule ap-
plies in ladies' underwear Custom makes people

We say "Only Once in Year." Just as certain as
that January only comes once in twelve months, so
certain is ii that we can promise you but such

ST. LANDRY Democrat. {

st. Landry Democrat: cit is re-
lated of President Lincoln, that when
certain person, recommended to
him for appointment, was the only
fit one for the position, he said that
the Office had better be abolished
then, for that person might die. The
McEneryites would have the citizens
of this State believe that he is the
only suitable person to be their Gov.
ernor; if so the Office ought to be
abolished-in fact, many think, if it
is to be run as it has been for several
years, the people would be better off
if it were abolished anyhow"

Of whom she would feel justly proud

General Francis 7. Nichols, who has
fought zealously for the principles Of
his party ever since he Invested him
self of the iarmor Of warrior for
the defense Of his country, and who
possesses all the elements requisite
for Chief Magistrate Of our below
ed State, and who is in every respect
worthy and well qualified faithful

fully served his State in the dark
days Of her greatest trial and distress.

Parting Words Of a Statesman.

Hon. Allen @. Thurman deliver
ed an eloquent address at Kenton,
Ohio, recently, from. which we take
the following extract:
"My friends, this is probably the
last political speech I ever shall make.
I don't know. I am pretty tough
old fellow, and it may be that I will
be wandering about here, like ghost
on the bank of Styx, ten years from
now talking Democracy to you. I
swear you will never hear me talking
anything else. Laughter and ap-
plause.1 But I am inclined to think
that this is the last political speech I
ever shall make. And if it is, in my
parting words to you I beseech you
to stand by the great principles that
Thomas Jefferson laid down for the
American people, that Andrew jack
son enforced and that have made this
country one of the greatest and free
est and most lovable countries upon
which the sun of God shines to-day.
Be thankful that you have such a
country; be thankful that you have
such Government, and never forget
that when you come to sift it down,
to analyze it, to boil it, you viii find
that every principle that has contrib
uted to your happiness is principle
Of the Democratic party"

Nationality of European NIonarchs.

It Is curious fact that there is hardly
q relgning monarch in Europe whose
family Is Of the same nationality, pur
sang, as the people governed. The
house Of Austria is really the house Of
Lorraine, and even iii their origin the
Habsburgs were Swiss. And if the
Emperor Francis Joseph be not, strict
ly speaking, an Austrian, still less is he
a Hungarian, although he is king Of
Hungary. The king Of the Belgians is
q e-Coburg; the king Of Denmark a
Holsteiner; the infant monarch Of Spain
is a Bourbon; the king Of Italy a Savo-
yard; the king Of Roumania and Prince
Ferdinand of Bulgaria are both foreign
ers; the founder Of the Bernadotte dy-
nasty Of Sweden was born at Paw leSs
than G century and q quarter ago.. tie
car is q Holstein Gottorp, and the king
Of the Hellenes is likewise q Holsteiner.
Even In the British royal family there
is very little English blood left. The
Hohenzollerns were originally Suabians,
and therefore partly Bavarian and part
ly Swiss. Neither was the historic house
Of Orange, in which patriotism has
nearly always been the first instinct,
Dutch to begin with.

Taking the children out is a very es,

Boisterous winds and an outdoor tenn
perature Of less than twenty-five degrees
makes it necessary thata sheltered spot
shall be sought for the airing; if, how
ever, 1t is impossible to do as here sug-
gested and the little folks must remain
in the house day after day, let them be
kept in the sunny room of tile house,
and Il the house happens to have no
sunny room i'll 1t, remember this, and
when changing get house with at least
one sunny room. Twenty-Five cents
invested IN o thermometer to hang in
the room in which the children are kept
Will be a very good investment. For
the sltting-room "a temperature Of
seventy. degrees would do very we'll; in
the sleeping-room temperature of ten
degrees less than that just mentioned
would be right. When the rooms be.
come too warm admit the outer air by
lowering the window sash one inch
from the top, and raising II the same
from}tlle bottom. Drafts OF air through
any apartment are very undesirable.

AN EvENTFUL LIFE,
Married Six Times and 1--WE Times
Widowed.

The recent death Of Mrs. Josephine
Baxter, at her home in Trumansburg.
near New York, recalls ito those who
knew her the remarkable series of vi
cissitudes through which she passed
during her eyentful life. Her married
life was an extraordinary one, and In
detail reads more like fiction than a
story ofreal life.
She was six times a bride and five
times widow. Born in Canandaigua
in n5August, 1888, her maiden name was
Josephine Tabor, Her father was one
of the wealthiest farmers in Ontario
county, New Y York, and she was his
only daughter. AS a child she was the
acknowledged beauty Of the neighbor-
hood, and everybody who remembers
her asa young lady recallsher particu-
@larly vivacious and delightful manners.
In 1850, when Josephine was 18
years Of aage, she was sent to the Pal
myra Academy.
Her affections were soon set upon an
impecunious but smart young teacher
in the academy, named James Odell,
and one night in December, 1867, she
elopcd with him. In 1863 he died, and
she maintained herself by her needle
until February, 1860, when she quietly
married Clarence w. Cushman, a bach
elor pork-packer at Cincinnati. Sho
was then only %, and, Notwithstanding
her hard toll for q livelihood and her
priyations, was as handsome and viva
cious as ever.
Mi. and Mrs, Cushman went to Eu.
rope in 1862, In Rome the husband
caught the Roman fever, of which lie
suddenly died. The young woman,
again a widow, returned to. America. .
In June. 1865, she was married at
